Not really a good analogy, as the computer is designed for information
storage, manipulation and retrieval, accessing the internet for visual and /
or interactive entertainment and technology sharing. The radio? well....
that's designed for listening to music and other non interactive audio
activities.

*shrugs* but of course you are right and say hi to Chuck for me

Well the analogy was yours my dear, I merely carried your argument to its
illogical conclusion. Why you feel you need to narrow the uses of an
invention that is so obviously designed to be as open-ended as a device
possibly can be is strange and I guess you only do this for dramatic effect.
The radio? well are you talking about the REAL radio? which is limited in
the ways that you say, or net radio which isn't.
Perhaps a little research into the topics being discussed would save over
developed shoulder muscles.
Try a google search, 'net radio' and a subject your are interested in.
Perhaps you might be pleasantly suprised like I was :)

My dad says 'hi' and that Chuck is in another universe but will pass your
message on when/if he sees him.

A computer is NOT designed for anything in particular but what the future
development of the technology is leading to, hardware and software designs are
changing faster and faster and the radio is only an old device that is going to
be forgotten in the future years.

Hi everyone:

[View Quote] This is a mythological misconception Icey and you know it. Ever heard of
something called SATELLITE RADIO???? If not, perhaps you had better take a
look at these URLs....

http://www.xmradio.com/ and http://www.siriusradio.com/

You'll find that you will get an education.

As for those of you who seem to think that the CARP Proposal isn't real or
won't affect you because you happen to listen to some obscure music genre
that's so obscure that the record labels don't even give a damn - THINK
AGAIN!!!

If you think it won't affect you because YOU don't live in the USA, THINK
AGAIN!!! Look at what a Dutch judge did to the owner of KaZaA.

The RIAA and its corps of agencies don't know boundaries. They ARE
International. It may take them a little longer to affect you because of
the liberalness in some of your laws, but they ultimately WILL find a way.
So they DO affect you. You just may not know it.

If nothing else convinces you of the seriousness of this situation, think of
it THIS way. You know about that nice little company called
NetBroadcaster.com which AWcom kindly acquired awhile back, well GUESS
WHAT.... AWcom NEEDS YOUR HELP & SUPPORT!!!! Didn't Mr. Noll say that
AWcom's future pretty much depends on their acquisition of
NetBroadcaster.com (in about a thousand words or so, but still
nevertheless).

Think about it peoples!!! As NetBroadcaster goes, so does AWcom's chances
of survival.

I know you're tired of trying to work with a company that's had a track
record of lying and poor PR (among other things). But IF this thing becomes
LAW, AWcom is pretty much out of business.

It would be interesting to see just what AWcom is doing to address the issue
of the CARP Proposal. AWcom is getting a CC of this message - AWcom, don't
you think that WITH YOUR FUTURE AT STAKE you should show that you are
*actually* doing something to address this issue or are you so naive as to
think it can't possibly affect YOU because you're in the VIDEO business as
opposed to Internet Radio & Webcasting?????

Seriously AWcom, don't you think you should like post something on your
website addressing this issue??? Maybe then people here will grasp the
seriousness of this issue and begin to take action.

So far with the exception of one or two people, I'm pretty disappointed in
the AW Community, at least with those who live in the U.S. and who seem to
think this won't affect them 'cause IT WILL if this becomes LAW as it'll
affect EVERYONE!!!

Well....that's all for now....Cheers....

The only good way to ignore the problem is to not buy a radioset, and to be true
I do not have any radioset here...and hardly will buy any. Apart from my
personal interests, I am not sure how it happened to talk about AWCOM starting
from a radio set...

Radioset not Radio...maybe I didn't explain myself clearly...a radioset is a stand
alone receiver, radio means a way to broadcast things...mmmh well I was talking
about radiosets, those boxes that do a lot of noise..., not sure what you were
thinking about:)
